I do not care to pay for quality and if it is something that I can use to generate a income with.
Let's take your vehicle as an example... You need a reliable mode of transport to get to work.. not something that will fail to start every morning when you have to go to work, so for that reason I will pay more for a more reliable car.
I think when it comes to necessity, one should go for high quality so that you can take the utmost advantage from the item, and you can use it for its purpose to where it suits best. However, there are high quality items that are not that expensive and ultimately luxurious for us. As long as it can be reliable to aid in your job, and productivity won’t be compromised, then there’s no reason to go for the most expensive one. But honestly, one should not go to the cheapest item as well as for sure its sustainability and quality will be at risk. You don’t want to waste your time and money aiming for the cheapest one and after days or months, the item can no longer serve you anymore.
it's up to you how you look for high quality products that offer a cheap price to save more. If you ask me, I would also prefer to invest in good and high quality products because I am sure that I can use them for a long time, unlike the ones with the price but after you buy it, there will be problems and the worse will be broken immediately, and when it's broken, you need to have it repaired or replaced. If you calculate the costs you spent on repairing the damaged item compared to the price of an item that's a bit pricey but in good quality, the price of both of them is not too far apart.
